Bug Description
The dot pattern generated by the overlay grid works well with certain backgrounds, such as the default. However, it looks bad on other backgrounds. Considering that the background is configurable, whether or not to draw the grid should also be configurable.

The linked branch contains code that should mostly solve this bug. I couldn't get it to actually work, but that's likely because I don't know how to hack on this project in particular or Vala in general. Hopefully it'll serve as a good start, or else hopefully someone can provide more details about why it didn't work.
To test, I did the following:
./autogen.sh --prefix= /some/local/ prefix etc/lightdm/ unity-greeter. conf # set draw-grid to false sbin/unity- greeter --test-mode
make
make install
vi $prefix/
$prefix/
